NAWAB MOHAMMED ABDUL
ALI
His Highness, the Prince of Arcot, Nawab Mohammed Abdul Ali,
is one of the premier citizens of our country. Carrying on his family
tradition, The Prince of Arcot enjoys more than a title and
enormous prestige. He was the Sherriff of Chennai (then Madras)
for two terms, from 1984-1985 and again from 1988-1989. He is recognised
by the Government as the 'First Nobleman' in the Muslim community
of south India.
Apart from being a pious Muslim, he is a dedicated and committed
social activist who chooses to be non-communal and non-political.
He enjoys a rank equivalent to that of state cabinet ministers and
is officially recognised by His Excellency 'The President of
India' as The Prince of Arcot. He is the founder secretary-general
of Harmony India, (founded-1990) an association to promote
communal amity, secularism and National Integration. He is also
a jury member of the National Foundation of Communal Harmony.
The Prince is a patron of music, art and literature and his
hobbies include photography, gardening and reading books.
Indeed, nobility personified.

JULIE VERUGHESE
 She
has a brand named after her. Fashion shows are incomplete without
her presence. She is not yet 25 and is already considered one of
the best Fashion Designers in the city. Meet Julie Verughese.
A graduate of NIFT (National Institute of Fashion Technology),
Julie conceives designs for companies and handles freelance
assignments. In her field, she is a trend-setter and her designs
speak moods more than moments.
Her designer collection sells under the brand name - Juliana.
She intends specialising in personalised styles for a select clientele.
Julie strongly believes that Fashion is an art and like every other
art it must be respected. She feels that Chennai is moving towards
a more open, unbiased approach to fashion and that this change is
good. She strives to be the best and does not wish to let success
cloud her ambitions. Wanting to make it big both in India and abroad,
she does not consider competition much of a problem. She wishes
to expand and maybe start her own boutique someday. Her advice to
young people interested in Fashion: "Hard work can take you places".
Indeed, gracefulness personified !
